Attach To Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling - SMC Networks Barricade SMC7004ABR User Manual

Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling

The 4 LAN ports on the Barricade can auto-negotiate the connection
speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, as well as the
transmission mode to half-duplex or full-duplex. The LAN ports on
SMC7004ABR support auto-configuration for pin signals (auto-MDI/
MDI-X) that allows you to use straight-through cable for connecting
the Barricade to any network device. (See Appendix B for details on
wiring.)
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the 4 LAN ports on the
Barricade to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you can
cascade any of LAN ports on the Barricade to an Ethernet hub or
switch, and then connect your PC or other network equipment to
the hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab
on the plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45
port. This may damage the Barricade. Instead, use only
twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that conform
with FCC standards.
Notes: 1. Use 100-ohm shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cable
with RJ-45 connectors for all connections. Use Category 3,
4 or 5 for connections that operate at 10 Mbps, and
Category 5 for connections that operate at 100 Mbps.
